Connected security: Building the ultimate ecosystem for identity protection
Source: YouTube · SailPoint · published Oct 7, 2025 · 22:21
BLUF: Chris Gossit and industry partners argue that "application amnesia" creates critical security blind spots, necessitating a shift to AI-driven, connected identity ecosystems that provide real-time visibility and scalable governance 0:28.
Key Takeaways:
• Organizations suffer from "application amnesia," lacking visibility into thousands of apps, their owners, and access patterns, which creates significant security vulnerabilities 0:49.
• Traditional identity governance fails at scale due to cumbersome manual processes; Sailpoint’s Accelerated Application Management (SAM) offers continuous visibility and prescriptive governance to address this 1:04.
• Effective identity programs must prioritize risk-based visibility over universal deep governance, leveraging AI to automate onboarding and reduce user friction while maintaining security 1:15.
• Scaling identity security requires breaking down organizational silos, aligning identity data with security operations, and adopting a business-outcome-focused approach to secure budget and resources 2:30.
Closing Statement:
To overcome the challenges of exponential application growth, enterprises must adopt AI-enabled, connected identity platforms that provide actionable intelligence and scalable governance, transforming identity security from a compliance burden into a strategic business enabler.

[Music] Please welcome to the stage Chris Gossit, Chief Growth Officer from Sailpoint. [Music] Good morning everyone. It's really an honor to be here today to talk to you about a topic that I'm really passionate about and that sits at the heart of modern cyber security and that's building a modern connected secure and extensible ecosystem for identity security. So let me start with a challenge that many organizations face but rarely confront head-on and it's this concept of application amnesia. The truth is that most organizations know they have hundreds sometimes thousands of applications running across their environment but the truth is they don't really know these applications. If you think about it and I'm sure many of you in the room are in this situation if they have a CMDB at all it…
